The Baltimore Orioles have not won the World Series since 1983. If this fact makes you feel things, Camdencast is the place for you. This is the home of Good Morning Birdland, with a new podcast every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning. Camden Chat's Mark Brown runs through the latest news, chats about the ongoing Orioles quest to go from a #1 farm system to being a playoff-caliber team, and shares listener emails.

The Kimbrel Conundrum
There's not much to feel good about when your favorite baseball team's closer blows two saves in three games. Mark's trying to figure out what, if anything, can be done about it. In a rant-heavy and bullpen-focused episode, Mark wants Brandon Hyde to have a better plan for knowing when Kimbrel's ready, and a listener asks what the Orioles will end up doing to patch together better ninth innings. Hopefully something!

The Rotation Squeeze
The Orioles could end up squeezing both John Means and Kyle Bradish back in to the rotation by this time next week. After surveying the roster of the next O's opponent, the Athletics, Mark turns to the question of how the rotation and the bullpen could be impacted by these earlier than anticipated returns, and who would seem to be candidates to get squeezed out of the organization entirely as that shuffle happens.

Still On Pace For 108
There is something about the Royals where even when the Orioles beat them, they manage to do it in a way that maximizes agony in Birdland. Or maybe this is just Mark's enduring grudge over the 2014 ALCS. Whatever the case, the O's closed out a 5-1 week even with so much going wrong, especially in the bullpen, and now they head on to the Angels. Also in this episode, Mark looks at Wins Probability Added to see who's clutch and who's not so far.

Stay Hydrated
The Orioles have hit 30 home runs in 18 games, leading every other MLB team and every Orioles team in history through the same number of games. Mark looks at the six O's batters who've contributed the most to the dinger tally to see who's likely to keep it up and who might not be. Also in this episode, some guarded excitement about Albert Suárez and his possible impact on the rotation mix, and some thoughts on the coming pitching matchups with this weekend's Royals series.

The Streak Lives
After the Orioles lost the first two games to the Brewers, the haven't-been-swept (in the regular season) streak was in danger, and early on Sunday it was in danger too even with Corbin Burnes on the mound. Mark takes a look at the good and bad from the Milwaukee series, surveys a couple of real problem areas for the O's so far, and looks ahead to this week's games against the Twins.

The Homer Hose Returns
Mark is still plenty ready to be hyped about Jackson Holliday being on the Orioles, but the fact is through his first two games the most exciting development has proven to be the return of the homer hose. In this episode, Mark is singing the praises of Colton "the Milkman" Cowser - who seems to have been at the front of bringing back the water celebrations. Also, some talk about how Holliday's looked so far, and what a few smaller news developments this week might mean.

Very happy this show has cropped up! Mark has a great way with words, he's concise, and he delivers with none of the fratliness that weighs down so many baseball podcasts. I'm giving it 4 stars because you need a better mic, Mark! They're not that expensive.
Great Podcast Mark
Stop worrying and enjoy. I’m fortunate enough to remember the 1966 young O’s pitching staff going against the Dodgers with Kofax and Drysdale, no chance. I believe we still own some WS pitching records from 66!! Go O’s.
Great
Good listen
